With another two weeks before the start of Austin Peay's football season, the team is making the wait a little bit easier for fans with its annual Fan Fest event.

On Saturday, Governors fans are encouraged to fill the seats of Fortera Stadium for a chance to meet the 2017 Austin Peay football team and watch an organized scrimmage.

Season tickets and concessions will be made available for purchase. Tailgating will be permitted in the parking lots outside of Fortera Stadium. There will also be inflatables set up around the stadium for kids as well as a limited supply of free ice cream.

After the scrimmage, players and coaches will stick around to sign autographs and take pictures with fans.

The Governors begin the season on Aug. 31 at Cincinnati.
